"My lord, it's windy here, so you better go in, or you'll really have to eat a mouthful of snow." Shopkeeper Yan hurriedly opened his robe to shield Lin Yanzhi from the wind and snow.

She stared at him for a long time, then glanced back at him with a downward gaze, and finally turned back without saying a word.

As soon as she sat down, Qin Tianze saw a layer of fine snowflakes on her head, so he raised his hand to brush her away, and ordered someone to bring the sleeve stove and put it in the palm of her hand.

Lin Yanzhi looked at the sleeve stove and pondered, but couldn't help but lean closer to him, and whispered with a solemn face: "Your Highness, I saw that the shopkeeper Yan had imprisoned someone, look at the hem of the clothes...... Like a woman's dress, you say, could it be the beloved girl he always talked about, because the courtship failed, and then he tied people up?"

"Is there such a thing? Can Yan Zhi see that he really imprisoned someone?"

Lin Yanzhi thought for a while, shook her head and said, "That cloth only blew a corner, and I only saw that piece of clothing, but! He clearly said that it was filled with ingredients and materials, so how to explain the hem of the clothes? If it's really a person, then ...... I don't know if it's life or death."

As she spoke, she suddenly had a chilling thought.

Ingredients, people......

A spirit, she quickly shook her head.

Qin Tianze looked at her movements and thought that she was still cold, so he simply hugged her into his arms: "There are only a few places where this inn can hide, instead of guessing here, why don't we go and find out?"

"Braised pork, please use it slowly." The shopkeeper served the last dish and said.

Lin Yanzhi looked at the large piece of meat, swallowed her saliva with difficulty and wanted to pour away the sudden churning burning in her stomach, and saw that Qin Tianze was going to put a piece in the bowl for her, so she couldn't help but retch, and hurriedly pressed his hand.

"Yanzhi?! But what's wrong?" Qin Tianze then put two fingers on her wrist.

"What's wrong with you, my lord?! Could it be?" Ginkgo's excited and worried eyes landed on her abdomen.

Two words of concern, the former made her feel warm, and the latter made her want to pour the whole plate of meat into her mouth and plug it.

She stared at Ginkgo with a faint look in her eyes: "Ginkgo, why don't we break up, I'm afraid that one day when you talk about it, even I will suspect that I am no longer a yellow flower girl."

Ginkgo let out a "whin" and begged in various ways: "My lord! Let the slave and maid continue to follow, and the slave and maid will never talk nonsense again!"

Lin Yanzhi raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay, you can remember, especially when you go to the palace, if you talk nonsense again, and if you are listened to by others, you will be punished at least and you will be fatal at worst."

Ginkgo covered her mouth tightly and nodded busily.

Lin Yanzhi sighed with a smile, turned her head to look at Qin Tianze, and saw that he was staring at the ginkgo.

"Your Highness?"

"Yan Zhi, you were right just now, if she stays any longer, I'm afraid it will affect you."

Ginkgo immediately knelt on the ground, she didn't ask Qin Ze, she just cried to Lin Yanzhi, "My lord, the slave promises to be cautious in her words and deeds in the future!" Don't leave your slave behind, please, my lord—"

Lin Yanzhi interceded for her, "Your Highness......

"Then you have to remember, don't make a mistake, or you won't be spared." Qin Tianze is coloring.

When Lin Yanzhi heard him say this, she was a little surprised in her heart, and couldn't help but look at Ginkgo, but when she saw her kowtow, she just had a trace of conjecture and dispersed, so she quickly opened her mouth and asked her to stop kowtowing and get up and go back to the room.

"Your Highness, she just read too much of the book, I will educate her well when I go back to the room next time. Let's not talk about her, Your Highness, if you have eaten well, why don't we go and see if it is a person now?"

Qin Tianze pulled her up, and the two walked over the counter and went directly to the storage room.

I looked around left and right, but I didn't see anything, so I went to the back kitchen and other places, but I found nothing.

"Strange, how could such a big cage be missing?"

Qin Tianze thought about it for a while, and took her to open every side room to see: "No, then it can only be—"

"In his house!"

Two people

They glanced at each other and hurriedly looked for it.

Sure enough, as soon as I walked into the room of the shopkeeper Yan, I saw something half a person tall next to the bed.

"This is it!"

Lin Yanzhi pointed at it, hurriedly went over and lifted the cloth, and was shocked to see that there was indeed a girl inside, with rags in her mouth, her hands and feet tied, and her fingers were frozen red.

Looking at the big iron lock that was locked, Lin Yanzhi looked at Qin Tianze anxiously and asked, "Your Highness, how are we going to unlock it, do you have a way?"

"You can't open it with a key."

The voice of the shopkeeper Yan came from the room, and Qin Tianze immediately pulled Lin Yanzhi behind him.

Crunch –

Shopkeeper Yan closed the door, slowly walked in front of them, and smiled, "Isn't it? Your Highness, Lord Lin, even if you want to search for something, this movement is inevitably too big, and the guys have told me."

Lin Yanzhi didn't bother to argue with him, and directly reprimanded, "Yan shopkeeper! Love can't be forced, even if you shut her up, she won't fall in love with you because of it, so! You're about to let people go!"

"What, what? My lord, are you mistaken, am I like that?!" Shopkeeper Yan glared

Lin Yanzhi and Qin Tianze looked at him at the same time, nodded in unison, he immediately covered his heart, and said aggrievedly: "It's too much, you are prejudiced! How can you make a conclusion because of your appearance......

Qin Tianze took advantage of his addiction, flew over, and twisted his hand to his back: "Hand over the key and release the person."

"Wait a minute, hey, hey——!"

The shopkeeper Yan, whose hands were pulled tighter, secretly thought, if you weren't the eldest brother of the son, he would definitely nail you to the table immediately!

"Your Highness! Your Highness, listen to me first!"

After waiting for a while, before he could say another word, Lin Yanzhi said with a smile: "You said, Your Highness didn't pinch your mouth."

"Huh? Oh, this woman is the maidservant next to Miss Yunying, do you remember Miss Yunying? It's the one next to King Ning."

Well?!

When Lin Yanzhi heard this, they looked at the girl in unison.

Qin Tianze let go of the shopkeeper Yan and asked him to talk carefully.

"That's the case, our brother lurking in Beiyuan found out that Miss Yunying would go to Baifu Mountain every month to collect medicine, so she kept squatting, and finally squatted until the day, and seized the opportunity, but in the end she only caught the maid next to her, hey, it's her." The shopkeeper Yan pouted to the cage.

Lin Yanzhi crossed her arms, very skeptical of his words: "How can you prove that what you said is true?"

Shopkeeper Yan shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you don't believe it, you can go and ask Miss Liu."

"Miss Liu? Are you talking about Liu Xin?"

Wait, he once said that his beloved was with her......

"Do I feel pity?" Lin Yanzhi raised her eyebrows.

Shopkeeper Yan blushed rarely: "It's her."

Lin Yanzhi looked at him sympathetically, and said in her heart, then you are even more hopeless, Liu Meinu likes it, but Qin Tianan! And it's the kind that is desperate and doesn't seek results.

Huh——?

So......

She suddenly thought of something, so she asked, "Liu Xin is from the Floating Sky Pavilion, and the Floating Sky Pavilion belongs to Qin Tian'an, so you-"

Shopkeeper Yan's eyes lit up, and he nodded every time she said a word, and even raised his hand to encourage her to continue.

"You are also Qin Tianan's people, and these inns along the way are also Qin Tianan's?!"

"Wow! Your Excellency, you are so smart! You've guessed it!" Shopkeeper Yan smiled from ear to ear, Childe, this is not what I said! It was Lord Lin who thought of it himself!

Lin Yanzhi's mouth opened wide, and she looked at Qin Tianze in disbelief: "Your Highness, he is so rich——"

Qin Tianze pursed his lips, raised her chin back, and said flatly, "Qianzhenlou earns no less than him." Once again, he wondered if it was time to expand into other businesses.

"What! Qianzhen Lou is His Highness?! No wonder the shopkeeper has always refused to sell the shop, regardless of our coercion and temptation,

They have exhausted all means, and they have not wavered." The shopkeeper Yan wrote down the news in his heart, and planned to write back to his son, asking him not to go to Qianzhen Building to buy a fan again.

"Ahem, ahem—"

The three of them listened to the cough and looked at the cage again.

"You're going to cover yourself with this cloth all this way?" Lin Yanzhi frowned and said, "No matter who she is, let's release it first, give her a pulse, and feed her something to eat."

"That's exactly what I mean, but you're here first." After speaking, the shopkeeper Yan took out the key, carried the person directly to the bed, threw away the rags in her mouth, stuffed a pill into it, slapped it with one palm, and then gave her a pulse.

"She's just got some cold, it's fine. My lord, please take care of it for you, and I'll cook her some liquid food."

Lin Yanzhi nodded, she should do this job, and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Qin Tianze.

"She's got a wind chill."

Lin Yanzhi tilted her head and said "um", and raised her foot again.

Qin Tianze pressed her on the round table: "You had a wind chill in the past, and you haven't healed for a long time, so don't get too close to her."

But someone had to watch, so he took a piece of paper and went to the bedside.

This time, it was his turn to be pulled, and then, his face was covered with a cloth with plum fragrance, and he touched Lin Yanzhi's head, and then walked over.

I don't know what kind of Su the shopkeeper Yan gave her, and it didn't take long for the girl to wake up blindfolded, and she shouted intermittently, "Miss...... Let's go......

When she was fully awake, she finally saw a son sitting next to the bed, even if her face was half covered, she could tell from between her eyebrows that it was a son with an extraordinary complexion.

"Ahem, was the son who saved the slave?"

Qin Tianze didn't answer and asked, "What's your name?" Whose maidservant is it?"

"The slave maid is called Ziling, is it—" She paused, "It's a maid in the Qin Mansion, thank you Gongzi for saving her life, I don't know Gongzi's honorable name?"

Qin Tianze said lightly: "It's also surnamed Qin."

After listening to this, she wanted to get up and salute him to thank him for saving her life, but found that her hands and feet were still tied, and at that moment, she wondered why he saved her, but did not help her untie the rope, so she said, "Can you trouble the son to untie the slave?"

"This ...... I'm afraid not."

What replied to her was a woman's voice, and she barely half sat up, only to find that there was a woman sitting at the table over there, looking at her helplessly, and listening to her again: "Qin Mansion, it seems that what the shopkeeper Yan said is true."

Ziling couldn't understand what she was saying, wiped her eyes, and tried to look at the woman, and when she finally saw clearly, she was stunned and asked uncertainly, "Lin, Lin Yanzhi?"

The person who was shouted laughed and said, "Your Highness, it seems that I am more famous than you now."

Her Highness directly frightened Ziling into the corner of the bed, staring at them back and forth with a wary face: "What are you trying to do when you arrest me? If you want to kill or chop, just do it, I won't say anything!"
